On September 20th, for the first time ever will coordinate a mass walk out, with consultants & junior doctors striking on the same day.

calls this 'callous & calculated'.... NO: what is callous & calculated is the engineering of an , of which your refusal Barclay to actually try & settle the dispute is just the latest stage!

Remember when these strikes take place, the Doctors have been forced into this by a callous & calculating Health Secretary!

For many the is fatal... the numbers dying while on waiting lists for treatment has doubled in 5 years....

Yet more evidence that the have little regard for the wellbeing of the population, only the wealth & interests of their chums.

Ramping up pressure on the over the , consultants are staging a 3 day walkout during the conference.

This follows the 2 day strike starting today & further action in October.

As Ministers & MPs go on news programmes to express their 'disappointment' in the action(s) & claim their offer to the BMA is 'reasonable'...

ask yourself, who do you trust more: or ?

This is a crisis engineered in Westminster!

The is being and . I received a text with a shortened link to a private company website with a free certificate from ZeroSSL . It's all official NHS apparently. It was telling me that I won't be able to phone for appointments anymore, I have to tell the third party private corporate interest company everything through a web page an hope it never gets hacked.

Our NHS Private Health

Revealed: The links between Tory MPs and the people profiting from NHS privatisation

Rich privateers with their eyes on our National Health Service donate to Conservative MPs.

If an MP works for, invests in or receives donations from either a private healthcare organisation or a fund that invests in private healthcare organisations. Do they really have any interest in saving our NHS?
Think about it!

I agree completely on the issue of what is important to ... the hope that the 'double lock' will deal with this concerns seems wilfully blind to the impact of the on the over 65s...

On tax & pensions - of course the personal allowance is well above the level of the state pension, so only top-up pensions are taxed, and as they are accrued with tax relief in the first place, taxing them on payment means they remain taxed once (as income)

I'd rather have an honest business strategy (however much I abhor it) than a bunch of pious-speaking hypocrites starving the NHS of cash!

Ah, genius way to solve the problem of consistently missing NHS cancer targets. Just scrap the targets. Problem solved!

And the great thing about it is that it will have no harmful effects on Tories, as they all have private health insurance anyway.

This story is interesting in its own right, but given the news about NHS funding across the UK, the info about a prostate cancer drug that is only available privately, gives it an added dimension.

The consequences of the defunding of the in one simple chart.... In 2010 (when the coalition started) waiting lists for treatment in England was around 2.25mn.... now, thirteen years later, over 7mn people are on the waiting list(s).

This is the in one number!

The is not safe in hands.

The big difference between & its relation to and in the US & the UK is the *cause* of a tightening labour market.

In the US a shortage of labour is driven by success, causing rising demand.... in the UK, shortages of labour has been caused by a shrinking workforce, driven by and the impacting on on number of long-term sick (inc. ).

@sjwrenlewis offers an interesting exploration of how this might play out.

In an interview with the FT, Thomas Buberl, Axa Insurance's CEO baldly notes that the presents 'quite a few business opportunities' as he continues to expand Axa's private business in the UK.

It'll be no surprise that he would see the travails of the engineered health care crisis this way, and merely confirms that the completely understand what the ' wrecking of the is intended to achieve.

this made crisis is enriching & other Tory chums, while degrading our & .

The strategic defunding of the is intended to expand the market for private healthcare... who have been preparing by expanding capacity & poaching NHS staff.

If the Tories have got £ for the then they can:
- build the 40 hospitals they said they would
- pay care staff a living wage
- pay Drs and nurses inflation linked wages
and
Stop subsidising the private sector to make more profit

Sunak's family have invested in private healthcare, he's just making money for himself and his mates

Please don't be reassured by govt messages that they're fixing the long waits of

Paying private providers might seem like a fix.

Where do the & Drs come from?
They go to private companies from NHS jobs, where the govt refused to give them decent pay, and they're burnt out a.f.

This leaves the NHS in an even worse state

Don't worry. Sunak's family have heavily invested in private health co.s so will make £££s

Hi Rishi Sunak, I see you're expanding use of the private sector in the NHS.

Do you publish any scale of how big a donation you have to make to the Tory party to get a contract for running these services?

I've never run a healthcare company before, but I assume that won't be a problem? How hard can it be?
